Beef Greaves - Moongold Etc

[Dead Eyes 681]

Does anyone feed them?

 

I did for a while but think I was doing it wrong and it didn't really agree with my dogs.

 

Very tempted to try it again

Never heard of either DE,what are they? atb Dave

They're a dried beef shavings product that you can buy online for feed.

 

I *think* you're supposed to rehydrate it first and it's a hell of a bargain - like £25 ish for 15 kg of dried meat

I know beef gives my dogs the shits unless mixed with bonemill

Used it before ,didn't agree with dogs whatsoever , a thought it was a bargain too but looked like a shit spreader had been through the kennels

Greaves or anything that's processed ,so to speak ,all depends on who makes it and what flesh he has at his disposal.

I used to get it and my dogs thrived on it and worked hard on it without loosing condition and I suspect because of the smell and colour of it I think it had plenty of tripe in it.

But if the maker is bulking it up with fat or plucks then of course it's going to show in a dogs condition.

Jolleys pet store does bags of it cheap and from what I hear most that have used it, didn't for long as the pens look like a farmer has turned a slurry tanker on in them.

That's the stuff Clint used to chew while trotting on his horse.

That's not a hell of a bargain for beef and depending how it's been dried you will

Lose a lot of the goodness in the process ... you can get beef mince for between 50 - 70p a lb from most pet food suppliers .......

 

And considering I can get chicken carcasses for £6 for 20 kgs then it's dam expensive ........

[Pirate 9000 676]

I would say that sounds expensive to me I could get 100 pound of chicken mince for 25 quid far better food for terrier's or lurchers.

[socks 32,253]

It's not necessarily better ......

Best in mind the rehydrated weight of that (I'm imagining) will be 4x that, so 60kg

 

Yeah mine had the squirts on it last time, but I think that's because all 3 shared a bowl full without rehydrating it first, so obviously expanded in them

 

Where do you get mince from? I currently get 6kg for £5 of butchers pet mince but I'm open to chicken carcasses or any other meat in Kent - but the usual suggestions all seem to be more expensive than the butchers

[Dead Eyes 681]

I know a decent supplier in Essex - I asked the zookeeper at Colchester where they get theirs from!

[low plains drifter 10,694]

Used them to put a bit of back on a coursing dog, small amount every other day on top of the dried food was enough

i said it before i don't know why people don't go direct to a slaughterhouse.
